Hey b4camaro, if you want the best wax at a decent price I would say use Route 66 Exotic Coatings www.rt66wax.com They have a scratch and swirl remover that works awesome and is idoit proof. I'll put that stuff up to anything out there and it will beat it hands down.
The guy who did my camaro was tired of using other brands that don't work and came up with his own complete line of car care products. As far as pads I joined www.truthindetailing.com and they have been great for a beginer. Check it out and let me know if you need any help.

It's alright, but for the money you can do better buying stuff online. The kit reccommended above is a really good starter kit.

If you can get some of the Menzerna FMJ from proper auto care, I would do it. They have it on closeout right now, and I ordered 2 16oz bottles. That stuff is unbelievable as a final glaze.

WARNING! I got attacked by a virus upon clicking on the autopia link. It's the security tool fraud and although symantec said it removed it, it did not and now is blocking all virus removal software from working ...

Maybe it was coincidental but a word to the wise.

lastly, if you're spending $30 on any type of machine buffer, it's crap. the PC is about the cheapest option that actually works, and it's over $100. everything else is just bad quality or won't spin nearly fast enough to generate the friction required for reducing swirls. also make sure you buy the right pads or else you'll just make your job of removing swirls even harder.

Agree with Most that is said. Rotary Buffers are a whole different beast, if your not prepared to PRACTICE and get the right products, just get a DA Buffer. The 30$ units are good for at best spreading on product.

I use mainly Meguiar products Including NXT 2.0 which is incredible Topping it with #26 Hi Tech Yellow Carnuba (which is often carried by auto parts places). NXT is a great product and for the most part I try to avoid "Boutique" Waxes as they are expensive and to be honest I have not seen a signifigant amount of difference to justify cost.

Try this link too, many good detailers here too.

Yeah the new owners are definitely having some issues with Autopia.

In the meantime, check out TID (Truth In Detailing) forum for tips.

I also got that virus by visiting Autopia...and it's a shame. That used to be the best detailing tool I had, now new people own it and its crap. Very much what this site is headed towards.
